KANSAS CITY, Mo. – President Barack Obama on Thursday cast upcoming elections as a choice between the party that caused the economic meltdown and the one that's fixing it, seizing on a populist, sharply partisan theme for the critical November midterms.
"We don't have to guess how the other party will govern because we're still living with the results from the last time they governed," Obama said at a fundraiser for Missouri Democratic Senate hopeful Robin Carnahan in Kansas City. "It's a choice between falling backward and moving forward."
Helped by recent gaffes by Republicans, Obama has arrived at the message he'll employ as he campaigns more frequently and aggressively around the country for Democratic candidates.

Obama intended to sound the same themes at fundraisers later Thursday in Nevada for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

0 implying we are not moving backward continuously under his policies. Anyone would be insane to want his help on the campaign trail.
I choose backward. It’s better than his version of forward.
I vote for moving back to freedom and a robust economy, as well as capable leadership... about 150 years ought to do it.

Problem is, Obama thinks Idiocracy is moving ahead.
Gee who from the DNC decided to make the fake home made posters? *eyeroll*
There's no other way guys like Obama would feel so confident telling such freakin' whoppers with a straight face.
His lies are so outrageous I cannot stand listening to them go unchallenged.
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity, p. 22 (paperback)
The choice is FREEDOM based on the moral and inspired ideas of the Founders(BACK at the beginning of this great nation)...and ahead...(which socialists and/or communists use to mean “I’m ahead of you in having control and wealth.”)
I vote for back, to basics, as in the Constitution.
EXCELLENT quote from a great man! ;-)
FUBO !!
“Obama: Choice between moving ahead or back”
Thelma and Louise faced the same decision. Which way did THEY go?
Take me BACK, please!
Continue with Bawanny, Dodd, Reid and Pelosi or get some grownups to govern?
“Obama has arrived at the message he’ll employ as he campaigns more frequently and aggressively”
Seems he arrived at this message three years ago. Barry is still blaming Bush for every calamity since the beginning of time. At this point the vast majority of the population is more than willing to move back. “Moving Ahead” with Barry means moving deeper into a hole of unemployment and debt. Axelrod keeps re-writing the same tired teleprompter text over and over.
"Does he *really* have to explain that one, dumbasses?"
Amazing, how long will it take for HIM to be accountable, when will HIS policies kick in? Why isn't he called on this? I blame the media.
I’ll take one term Marxist ToTUSes for 4oo dollars, Alex..
“a choice between the party that caused the economic meltdown and the one that’s fixing it,”
Is he implying that the Rats caused it or are fixing it? Because not a damned thing they have done has fixed anything.

Lets see, the 2006 election cycle ushered in the
control of both houses to the (D)’s. The employment
level was approx. 5-6%. When the realization that the
candidate for the (R)’s was going to be McLame in 2008
things started to head south. With the colapse of Hellary
and the selection of 0bami, the rest came easy. $4.00 pgal
gas... $147.00 per bbl of oil just to make things look as
bad as possible (all manufactured in my opinion).
Now he stumps on the poor economic condition as everyone
else on their side does as being caused by everyone other
than the ones that actually did the damage...
It would be great if they just once tried another tactic
just to mix things up a little. Their strategy is getting old.
Maybe someone should point out who’s been running congress for the last while then, I’ll give him a clue, it was not the republicans............
POTUS First draft:
On this road we are on—the extremists on the right say to `serfdom’ (smile slyly into sleeve, then flash that easy grin) in our desire to move this country to an economy that puts people first, a system of permanent, collectivist socialism run by a wise oligarchy of central planners, we must not waiver, we must not falter—we must move forward, not backward.
TOTUS: Too wordy, Barry. We’ll go with the last six.
zero wants to go back to the 1930s. Like FDR blaming Hoover (a rino), zero blames Bush (a lesser rino than Hoover). Like FDR, zero wants to raise taxes, increase entitlements, and increase regulation. Unions, well zero wants them to have more money and power with bailouts for teachers and public sector workers under the guise of “stimulus” as well as the notorious “card check” union cheating bill.
zero also hates the Constitution just like FDR by supporting an unconstitutional health care mandate, appointing radical czars, and SCOTUS nominees, issuing illegal executive orders (offshore oil drilling ban), firing the GM chief, and taking the Chrysler bondholder’s money by intimidating the bankruptcy court. If zero had his way he would have packed the supreme court, but FDR already tried that one.
Let’s see if he starts taking political prisoners like his beloved FDR did when he put 110,000 Japanese prisoners into concentration camps.
The Blame Bush thing is getting tired and the public is getting tired of it, its your problem sunshine, you’ve had nearly 2 years in office and the Dems running a mess of a congress for years now.
You wanted it, its all yours.
Obama does not want to go back..he may find them cotton fields for suitable than being an illegal President.
The Pubbies had’nt better leave this unanswered....
Face it, nobama. Most Americans don’t trust you, dislike your policies and want you to resign. Face it, nobama. Most Americans won’t openly say what they think because of PC. Face it, nobama. November, 2010, will be your Waterloo. Face it, nobama. You are doomed to be a L O S E R !
Can we fight their deep pockets? I swear it's starting to look like the Democrats are the fat cat's party and the Republicans are the poor people's party, I mean literally with fund-raising.
“We don’t have to guess how the other party will govern because we’re still living with the results from the last time they governed,”
No, 0. That is NOT correct.
The Dems held control of Congress ever since 2006. The Dems had a whole lot to do with Fanny, Freddy and subprime lending to poor risks. The Dems also had a lot to do with the inability of the Republicans to cut spending, although I must say GWB and others helped a lot there too.
Conservatives will do a far better job managing things going forward. Not only that, we’ll still live in a free country, one somewhat akin to what our Founders intended. One that’ll preserve the American Dream, and allow the excellent and motivated to prosper.
Not the socialist hellhole you envision, 0.
One can only hope that you’re gone sooner rather than later.
Psalm 109:8 is my thought for the day.
Let's see......moving ahead with Oboma into total annihilation, or going back to defeating him and putting a stop to the left wings economic meltdown. Hmmmmm. Decisions, decisions......
Ahead as in ahead to full communism and sharia law... FUbo... you are a duck with a peg leg after November.
LLS
The video I saw on FOX showed a very agitated, sarcastic and bizarre acting Barry.
Apparently, they couldn’t even give away seats and “ volunteers “ were rushing around trying to make the venue look fuller.
It’s pretty bad when $ 299 seats were reduced to $ 99 and $ 35 dollar seats were reduced to $ 17 dollars-
and they still couldn’t find drones willing to pay a couple of bucks to listen to hyper Barry spew his nonsensical gobbeldygook.
In a heavily Democrat , heavily black area.
To top it off, the Washington Examiner noted that Barry used the same phrases to denigrate Republicans that
Malcolm X often used to smear whites.
” Robert Gibbs, Obama’s communications director, said he did not know whether Obama was aware that he was echoing Malcolm X.”
Riiiight.

Actually the sign was incorrect; it should have read POS not POTUS
Given the sheer amount of lies this idiotPOTUS has spewed, heads up folks, but to him and his merry band of radical idiots, “moving ahead” is actually going backwards.....we are all broke, taxed to literal death, and have ‘social justice’ tattoo’d on each of our collective arses. =.=
How about kicking you and your thugs out, Mr. Pres ?
Obama seems to forget that when Pelosi/Reid took over Congress unemployment was 4.7%, and the DOW was 12398. Unemployment was 7.7% when he took office.
When you’re looking over the edge of a 1,000-ft. cliff, forward is a stupid way to go.
Of course it might help if the Repubs in the Senate, House & Governorships would echo back a crescendo of drumbeats & accusations against 0b0z0 & the liberal RAT bastard demoRATs for bankrupting our country, for socialist programs that fail everytime, for 18-20% REAL unemployment in our country, for destroying American businesses & so on. And to grow a pair and continually accuse 0bozo of being a RAT socialist communist. Until the GOP speaks up continuously, it will be like it was in 2008, only 0b0z0's socialist-fascist voice will be heard by the dumbed down American voters. Personally I think that only a Civil War II or American Revolution II will solve the problem, to arrest 0b0z0 & the demoRAT party leaders for high crimes & treason and then to the prison or gallows, whatever is warranted.
America has been ‘bamboozled’ by this Poseur-in-Chief, a racist race-bating charlatan who never could have advanced to be POTUS without a lying complicit media.
Obama channeling Malcolm X is another reminder that this radical hater Barry X is not the lovey dovey “hope and change” kinda guy he pretended to be....
The “Pubbies” are worthless. I cannot believe they don’t have a cohesive, cogent platform that expresses their views. Unbelieveable. I just hope they don’t screw everything up. Holy crap, where is the leadership???????
